“Ides of March”

Standards Oregon | Lively Arts

“Beware the Ides of March” is a famous warning from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. In the play, a soothsayer tells Caesar on February 15, 44 BC, to beware the “Ides of March”—the 15th day of March in the Roman calendar. The phrase foreshadows Caesar’s assassination on that exact date by senators including Brutus. It has since become a cultural idiom symbolizing impending danger, betrayal, or a fateful day to be cautious

The time shift results in sunrise and sunset occurring approximately one hour later on the clock than the day before, providing more daylight in the evening and less in the morning.

Start Date
: Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 9, 2025. This is the second Sunday in March, following the schedule established by theEnergy Policy Act of 2005.
Time Change: At 2:00 a.m. local standard time, clocks are set forward one hour to 3:00 a.m. local daylight time. This is often referred to as “springing forward.”
Geographic ScopeMost of the United States observes DST, except for Hawaii and most of Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Nation, which does observe DST).  U.S. territories such as American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands do not participate in DST.
Legal Basis: The rules are governed by the Uniform Time Act of 1966, as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The U.S. Department of Transportation oversees the implementation, while states and territories have the option to opt out of DST but cannot independently choose to make it permanent without federal approval.

The U.S. power grid operates on a synchronized frequency of 60 Hz, maintained across three major interconnections: Eastern, Western, and Texas. During the Daylight Saving Time (DST) switch—typically at 2:00 AM local time on the second Sunday in March (spring forward) or the first Sunday in November (fall back)—the grid’s synchronization is unaffected because it relies on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), not local time. Grid operators, coordinated by entities like the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), ensure frequency stability through automatic generation control (AGC) systems, which adjust power output to match demand in real time.

Ω

The DST shift doesn’t disrupt this process. When clocks spring forward (e.g., 2:00 AM becomes 3:00 AM), demand may briefly drop as human activity adjusts, but AGC systems respond instantly, balancing generation and load. In the fall, when clocks fall back (e.g., 2:00 AM repeats), a temporary demand spike might occur, but the grid’s inertial stability—provided by large rotating generators—and real-time monitoring prevent desynchronization. Operators may pre-schedule minor adjustments, but the system’s design, rooted in UTC-based frequency regulation, ensures seamless operation. Thus, while local time shifts, the grid’s 60 Hz hum remains steady across the transition.

Corned Beef and Cabbage

Corned beef and cabbage traditionally comprise a St. Patrick’s Day meal.  While St Patrick’s Day is celebrated around the world, corned beef is strictly an Irish-American tradition.  It isn’t the national dish of Ireland nor the food you would eat on St. Patrick’s Day in Dublin.

Shamrock Shakes

Thursday Social Home

The Shamrock Shake tradition centers on festive St. Patrick’s Day celebrations hosted by the Collegiate Recovery Program. Each March (e.g., events on March 7, 2024, and March 12, 2026), students gather for free Shamrock Shakes—minty green treats—alongside crafts, games, and sober fun at locations like Serenity Place. This annual event promotes community, recovery support, and holiday spirit in a welcoming, alcohol-free environment for all WVU students.

Overall, Morgantown is widely regarded as a quintessential American college town with very strong university-city integration — especially around the Downtown Campus — and it mirrors the European pattern more closely than many sprawling, isolated U.S. flagship campuses (e.g., those in big suburban or rural settings like Purdue, Ohio State, or Texas A&M). The relationship is symbiotic and visible in daily life, with the university embedded in the city's identity and physical layout.

The Liberals are Coming and They’re Bringing Fancy Coffee | Kristin B. Tate

North Dakota has a strong rural, conservative identity* that many residents value, and concerns about preserving that amid population shifts are common. While discouraging specific groups based on politics could veer into unethical or illegal territory, here are some legal, community-focused strategies citizens might use to emphasize the state’s unique character and potentially make it less appealing to those seeking urban amenities or progressive policies that destroyed the cities they flee.

  • Advocate for policies that reinforce rural priorities
    Residents can lobby for state laws that prioritize agriculture, energy production (like oil and coal), and low-density development. For example, supporting zoning restrictions that limit high-rise buildings or large-scale urban sprawl could maintain the open spaces and small-town feel.
  • Promote cultural and lifestyle differences publicly
    Through social media, local newspapers, or community forums, highlight the realities of North Dakota life—harsh winters, limited public transit, fewer entertainment options, and a focus on self-reliance. Sharing stories or campaigns about why urban transplants might struggle can naturally filter out those expecting city conveniences.
  • Strengthen local conservative networks
    Organize or join groups like the North Dakota Republican Party, farm bureaus, or hunting/fishing clubs to amplify voices on issues like Second Amendment rights, low taxes, and minimal government intervention. Hosting events that celebrate these values might signal to potential movers that the political climate leans heavily one way.
  • Support economic incentives tied to traditional industries
    Push for tax breaks or programs that favor farming, ranching, and fossil fuels over tech or service sectors that attract urban professionals. This could slow the influx of people seeking remote work opportunities in “progressive” fields.
  • Engage in voter initiatives and education
    Citizens can campaign for ballot measures that protect against perceived urban influences, such as limits on property taxes or environmental regulations. Educating newcomers on local customs and expectations through welcome packets or town halls could also subtly encourage those who don’t align to reconsider.

Keep in mind that migration is often driven by jobs, family, or quality of life, and North Dakota has seen growth from various sources. If the goal is preservation rather than exclusion, focusing on positive community building might be more effective than deterrence.
